It will take place at Blessed Pope John Paul II Catholic School, 160 Cachet Blvd., in Brooklin. As part of her mission to end hunger, every year she works with Feed the Need in Durham as the recipient of all collected donations. Those attending Outdoor Movie Night for Hunger are asked to bring donations of non-perishable food items as their admission. "Last year, we had over 3000 people in attendance," said Gordon, "and were able to raise a total of about 11,000 items of food for the food bank. It felt so great to give back to the community. Along with raising awareness for some of our communities' most pressing social issues, this event is so much more. You see families come out and create lasting memories, cuddle under blankets under the stars, you hear the laughter of the children and you see joy in the parents' eyes." This year they have a huge list of fun activities and entertainment for the whole family including: Zoo to You, SpringFree Trampoline, face painting, crafts, games, Trailer Park Casanovas live in concert, Performances by Take 5 Dance Studios and The Durham Jazz Band, appearances by The Whitby Fire Department and Molly The Fire Dog, free cookie decorating, smoothies and waffle sticks, cotton candy, hot chocolate, popcorn, hot dogs and more! There will also be prizes including a chance to win an iPad. Brooklin Village Spa & Salon has joined the mission to end hunger as a Platinum VIP Level Sponsor for the Movie Night for Hunger. Jaime Townes, owner of Brooklin Village Spa & Salon, has a passion for giving back to the community. The goal is to raise 10,000 lbs. of food for local food banks with all food donations going to Feed the Need in Durham and distributed to their partnering food banks, soup kitchens and shelters across Durham Region.
